I really liked thinking about popularity for my boys' names when I considered them. It doesn't matter 100%, but I wanted something a little unique.

(For the record, they were I think 40th and 20th at their respective times and I rarely encounter other kids with their same names).

My boy name isn't on there, but our top 3 girl names are-- however they're in the 30's, 40's, and 70's.. I'm not too worried.
I'm like you, though, I want the name to be 'unique' enough where I don't hear it every day. I think i'm safe for now.
